I promised myself I would tackle the Philip Pullman trilogy once I got my Kindle; I'm glad I did wait, cause I'm glad Northern Lights is going to be the first book I'll finish on it. It's kind of like a milestone, I guess, and I'm glad it was something good.
Somehow I have this pride in the Kindle, it's not going to contain pirated, lousily formatted ebooks filled with spelling typos - it's going to have good classics and mysteries and fantasy. I think it should look like my bookshelf at home, sort of like books that I will pick up and read again, which is kind of the point of the Kindle anyway. I do foresee one trouble with an ebook reader though, it takes twice the time to skip a chapter or speed-read whenever I'm rereading something.
但这不是喜新厌旧。
My Tom Clancys and Agatha Christies still mix happily with the old-school Enid Blytons and Jeffrey Archers and the newer novels I've bought in the past few years, and my bookshelf's still going to be where I turn to when I need Jane Eyre, or Rainbow Six, or Kane and Abel, or one of those dog-eared favourites.
And the Kindle's going to complement that. Now all that's left is to give it a name.
velda.
